It sells individual, program, and state memberships; hosts the world's premier biennial training conference on opioid use disorder treatment; and offers paid clinician training courses such as Opioid Maintenance Pharmacotherapy. It also produces policy whitepapers, runs webinars, and operates an online provider locator to support medication-assisted treatment access.

Product overview

AATOD is a professional membership association, not a technology product company. It provides a portfolio of services including annual conferences for opioid treatment professionals, an Opioid Treatment Provider Locator tool, clinician training courses such as Opioid Maintenance Pharmacotherapy, policy publications and whitepapers, webinars on treatment regulations, conference video content, and membership programs for individuals, treatment programs, and state organizations. The organization serves as a central resource for the opioid treatment community, focusing on education, advocacy, and professional development rather than commercial software products.
